TRUE LOVE

               A Usagi and Mamoru Romance



            ~Eyes are the windows to the soul~



Konnichiwa minna!  Well here is part five of my story.  Hopefully

it is doing ok so far.  I'm still not sure how long this story is 

going to be, pretty pathetic huh.  Umm the romantic intent 

in this story is not suppose to be a ecchi/hentai.  I just wanted

to show the romantic feelings that Usagi and Mamoru have

for each other.  I feel like in the in the show that they lack 

romantic feelinngs for each other.  I did not intend to offend

anyone with the actions displayed by Usagi and Mamoru.

You know I'm the author of this story but I still do not have

a clue who this mystery man is.  Hopefully his identity comes

to me in a vision.  Thank you to all those great readers out

there who took the time to read my story and send me their 

comments.  I love you all!!!!  Please keep your emails coming.

~Before you start the story, please take the time to read

this.  A very good friend of mine wrote it.  It protrays 

all her feelings that she was feeling at one time.  It is 

very inspiring and I'm proud to know her.  I would like

to dedicate part 5 of this story to my friend who I 

cherish like a sister.  I am posting her email address

and feel free to email her about it.  She would love to 

hear from you.  Autummred@yahoo.com



I love you with all my heart but I cannot survive the

pain of your world. The emotional abuse is too much to

take. I cannot survive I will not survive and that?s

why I?m leaving you. An angel came along one day and

showed me the path. I love this angel with all my

heart for he has saved me from the path of disaster.

The pain the torture the abuse the drugs. I cannot

take it any more. The emotion I went through hoping

you would change for me some day. Waiting and waiting

for you to change for me. But I?ve realized that

you?re never going to change. You think it?s normal to

joke and call me a bitch. But deep down inside of me I

feel the pain of your words. And you don?t even

realize it. You think its funny and start laughing.

And so I try to talk to you and tell you it hurts me.

You start telling me I?m bitching. But really I?m not.

I?m just trying to tell you about my pain. I?ve tried

so hard to make his relationship work. Iv even changed

my self. Doing things I didn?t want to do to make you

happy. I did so many bad things for you but you where

never satisfied. You wanted more and more of my time.

And I gave it to you. I lied to my parent?s face for

you. I never spent time with any of my other friends

just so I could spend all my time with you. My best

friend and I almost broke up because I never spent

time with her. I gave you all my time but you still

weren?t satisfied. You?d make me feel like I was at

fault for everything. And when I accidentally did

something wrong you made me feel like I was the most

stupid person in the world. I thought everything was

my fault. I kept thinking what should I do. I cried at

night praying to god to help me. To make me feel

better. I really truly love you but the emotional

abuse from you is unbearable. I cannot take the

yelling the screaming the fighting the hurting any

more. So I must leave now before it?s to late. You are

a great friend and a great person inside but we cannot

be together any longer.



I truly truly love you but love

 Comes in a package and you do

 Not complete the package.

Part 5

PG-13-)for mild language and romantic stuff :)

Fears





	Motoki stood in shock as he watch Mamoru fall abrubtly 

to his knees.  What confused him more was that his friend was 

mumbling Usagi's name and that she was in danger.  He came out 

of his shock when he saw Mamoru blackout once again.  He rushed 

to his friends side and began to shake him gently. 



	"Mamoru snap out of it!" Still not recieving a response, 

Motoki began to hit Mamoru's cheeks.  (Hey it works in the movies, ne?)  

Motoki decided to try some water.  He got went to the kitchen and came 

back with a towel and bowl. "You got a lot of explaining dude when you 

wakeup." Motoki mumbled at the unconscience figure on the ground.  

Motoki took that towel and placed it on his forehead.  Then he dabbed 

his fingers in the bowl of water and began to sprinkle drops of water 

on Mamoru's face.  Motoki noticed that Mamoru's eye begin to flutter.  

"Thats it buddy, its time to wakeup sunshine!"  Mamoru began to cough 

and his eyes snapped open.  His vison was hazy at first but he started 

to make out his surroundings.  A concerned face was looking down at him.  

Motoki was looking at him anxiously.  Finding his voice and wanted to 

relieve the tension on Motoki's face, Mamoru said with a smirk,



	"Motoki you don't have to hover over me like a mother hen."  

Motoki obviously relieved to hear his friend speak, and was even happy 

yo hear the usually sarcastic remarks that Mamoru was famous for.



	"Well I wouldn't have to hover over you like a mother hen, if 

you didn't faint like damn princess........but actually I guess 

its ok since its very clear to see that there is whole another 

side of you I have never seen.  I have a picture as evidence."

Mamoru began to chuckle and began to sit up.  He winced slightly 

causing Motoki to immediately come to his aid.  Mamoru smiled his

thanks and Motoki helped him to the couch.  Once Mamoru was

settled, Motoki bagan to pelt him with questions.  Mamoru held up his 

hand in mock deafeat and Motoki settled down.



	"Motoki I apreciate everything you have done for me so far, 

but I just can't answer any of your questions right now."  

Mamoru could see that Motoki was about to open his mouth to 

protest, but Mamoru continued.  "I know thats not what you want to hear, 

but I'm not even sure whats wrong yet.  I promise I will explain 

everything soon."  Motoki sighed in defeat but knew Mamoru would tell 

him in good time.  



	"I'm holding you to that Mamoru"  Mamoru only nodded and 

asked Motoki to do him one more favor.



	"Motoki will you drive me to the temple?"  Motoki began to say 

that Mamoru should get some rest, but seeing the determined look on 

Mamoru's face he knew Mamoru would not be denied.







	Loud laughter rang out at the temple.  People passing

smiled at the young girls voices they heard that were filled

with such happiness.  Elderly women sighed and remembered

how much fun they had when they were young.



Rei's grandpa was meditating when a ball came through the 

window of the temple hitting him in the head and breaking

his concentration.



'Reeeiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!"  he roared.



The girls laughter stopped abrutly when they heard a certain

voice ring out.  They looked over at the temple to see Rei's 

grandpa storming out and huffing over to the girls.  Minako

began to giggle but was elbowed hard by Rei.  Minako 

quickly shutup and looked down as she rubbed her throbbing

arm.  Rei's grandpa stopped in front of them with his breath 

coming out in loud puffs.  



"Rei, do you think you and the girls could be just a tad bit

louder?"



Rei hid a smile at her grandpa's sarcasm.  



"Gomen grandpa, we'll settle down."



After saying she was sorry, Rei's grandpa turned around

and began to walk briskly back to the temple.  He turned

around and yelled to Yuchiro.  Yuchiro got up quickly and

gave the girls a bad look.  He was not looking forward to 

face Rei's grandpa's wrath.  Once he was inside the girls 

laughter broke out.  Even Usagi who hadn't smiled at all, 

cracked a grin.  Minako turned around to see Usagi's grin and 

in a exagerrated voice said,



	"Why the iceprincess finally allowed us humble

servants one of those rare sunny smiles of hers."

Cupping her hands around her mouth, she started to 

pretend that she was one of those sportcastors.  

Minako began to hop around the garden yelling loudly.

"And the crowd goes wild!" She screamed.

Usagi couldn't help but let out a giggle as she 

watched her blonde friend dance around making 

crowd noises.  Finally Rei stepped in worried 

that her grandpa would come out again.  As the

girls resumed their gardening and chattering, Darien 

and Motoki pulled up to the temple.  As they were 

walking up the stairs they could hear happy girl 

laughter.  Knowing that Usagi was probably with them,

Mamoru paused.  



	"Ummm maybe this was a bad idea, I can always go see

Rei-chan later."  Mamoru began to turn around.



	"Mamoru-chan, we're here anyway, and besides I hear 

Usagi's voice.  You should talk to her.  She's probably

worried sick about you."  Mamoru could see no way out of it 

and sighed.  They continued to climb the stairs.  As they 

reached the top, they didn't see anyone at first.

"They must be around back."  Motoki concluded.

They headed toward the gardens.  As the rounded the 

corner they saw the girls pulling up weeds and

planting new flowers in the garden.  

"Hey girls, mind if we join the party?"



	"Motoki-san, Mamoru-san!"



The girls looked up at the guys and happy grins lit

their faces.  Usagi smiled at Mokoki but her eyes 

never left Mamoru.  Mamoru could feel her eyes and

could not help but stare back.  

'God, shes so beautiful!  What the hell is wrong with me?'

Usagi held a questioning look in her eyes and Mamoru was

forced to look away.  When he glanced back he saw the hurt

on her face but still she did not say anything. 

Motoki was happily chatting away with the other girls so

Mamoru went to join him.  Usagi joined the group but her silence

continued.  The whole group was sitting under the cherry

trees enjoying the peace and beauty.  Ami looked at Usagi

and noticed that she was not smiling or talking like she 

usually was.  In fact Ami thought she looked utterly lost.



	"Usagi-chan, is anything wrong."



	"Nothing Ami-chan, just thinking."  Usagi glanced at 

Mamrou but quickly looked away.  She tried to manage a smile but 

it quickly wilted.  Rei noticed the glance but decided not to say 

anything to the other girls. The other girls looked worriedly at 

each other but Rei looked at Mamoru.  He shook his head slightly 

and looked away.  He didn't want to deal with a bunch of

questioning girls right now, so it was better to deny 

that he knew what was wrong.  Rei decided to consult the

fire when everyone left.  The girls tried to get Usagi 

to cheer up and Motoki was trying to tell jokes, but Usagi

did not laugh.  She managed small smiles to please her

friends but they faded when they turned away.  



Usagi decide to take a walk around the temple.  She got up

but shook her head at her friends when they tried to 

join her.  They understood that she wanted to be alone.

Usagi looked over at Mamoru but he avoided her gaze.

Usagi felt like she was going to cry and she quickly

turned and walked away.



Usagi found walking around the temple beneath the 

cherry trees was very soothing.  She began to hum to 

herself.  Then she felt a presence come up behind her.

She turned around thinking it was Mamoru, but instead

she found herself staring into a beautiful pair of 

sparkling blue eyes, but these eyes were beyond 

description and as Usagi stared into them she began to

drown.  Blue filled her vision.  No one should have that

color of eyes she thought.



	"Excuse me...are you ok?" a soft voice asked.



	"Hai." Usagi whispered.  Her heart began to beat harder 

and butterflies began to flutter in her stomach.  Why did she 

feel so nervous she asked herself.  This man made her feel like 

Mamoru, but he wasn't Mamoru.  The man continued to

stare at Usagi with a fierce intensity.  Usagi 

could not help but stare back.  Suddenly a smile 

broke out on his face.



	"Ahhh I remember you.  I met you this morning,

or actually I ran into you this morning, literally."

Usagi mind went blank for a minute but her mind

began to replay the scene that went on that 

morning.  A blush crept into her cheeks.  She looked

down at her feet.



	"Ohhh gomen nasai," she murmured.  "I wasn't watching

where I was going."



	"Oh no thats quite alright, it was my fault to.  And 

being able to talk to you now I'm glad I bumped into 

you this morning."  Usagi's blush became brighter as she tried 

to hide a smile at the obvious compliment.  Then remembering her

manners she introduced herself.  Bowing slightly and then

holding out her hand she said,



	"My name is Tsukino Usagi, its nice to meet you."



	"Same here Usagi-chan, oh its ok if I call you chan 

right?"



	"Hai." Usagi smiled.



	"My name is Takahashi Tauski."  Usagi heard her friends 

calling out her name. 

  



	"Come on Tauski-san, I'll introduce you to my friends.  I'm 

sure they'll like you."  She added with a giggle.  Minako came 

rushing up to Usagi when she saw her.  She began to began to scold 

her.



	"There you are Usagi-chan, you scared us when you didn't

come back."



	"Gomen Minako-chan, gomen minna." she called to the

people coming up behind her.  Usagi looked at Mamoru and could see 

the worry creased on his forehead and in his eyes, but when he saw 

Usagi looking at him he forced himself to wipe any emotion off his 

faceand out of his eyes.  Usagi dropped her head sadly but

noticed that her friends were looking at Tauski with 

appreciative eyes.



	"Oh minna I would like to introduce you to Takahashi

Tauski."  The group bowed to him and he returned their bow.  

Motoki, Mamoru, and the girls began to introduce themselves.  

Usagi took this time to take a better look at Tauski.  He 

was very good looking.  He had a tall frame like Mamoru and 

broad shoulders.  You could tell that he was muscluar, but 

not overdone.  His face was very well sculptured, 

but his eyes were what drew your attention.  They were

a odd shade of blue and Usagi got that sensation of

falling again.  She had to look away.





Mamoru studied the young man as the rest of the group

introduced themselves.  He was around his own age and

had an equal build.  Mamoru began to feel an instant

rivilry with Tauski.  He had to squash the urge to grab

Usagi and bundle her off to somewhere other then here.  

When his turn came to introduce himself to Tauski, he 

simply stared.  Tauski stared back.  Tension began to 

fill the air between them.  The rest of the group could 

feel the tension build between the two men.  Usagi looked 

worriedly at Mamoru.  Tauski broke the silence with a 

friendly smile but his eyes continued to hold Mamoru's.  

He held out his hand but Mamoru just nodded and turned away

Tauski's smile faded for a minute and he dropped 

his hand.  He chuckled softly like he found Mamoru's 

behavior amusing.  He looked at Usagi and smiled.

She smiled back but she was confused over Mamoru's

behavior and tried to convey her apologies to 

Tauski in her eyes.  Understanding what she was trying

to say Tauski mouthed that it was ok.  Rei asked

if everyone to some inside for some tea.  Agreeing, they

all followed her into the temple.  They settled

comfortably around the table as Rei made the tea.

Minako with love struck eyes began to ask Tauski questions.



"So Tauski-san...tell us a little about yourself."



"Well I was born in America, if your wondering

why I can speak Japanese its because my parents

were very strict about remembering where we we're

truly from.  I lived in America for 19 years.  My

parents decided that it was time for me to visit

our homeland.  So here I am.  I'm staying with some

relatives now, but I'll be going to Tokyo University.

so I'm hoping to get my own apartment soon."



	Rei came in with the tea and began to serve every-

one.  Usagi was listening with half her attention.  When

he mentioned Tokyo University she added that, that was

where Motoki and Mamoru went.  Mamoru began to fidget. 

'Great' he thought, 'now I'll probably see more of him.' 

Motoki smiled and offered to show him around.  Tauski 

agreed and continued to sip his tea.  The room was quiet 

for a moment.  Usagi broke the silence when she began to 

giggle.  Everyone was shocked but the girls were glad to 

hear their friend laugh  



	"Gomen minna, but you all look so serious."

She continued to giggle and it soon became catching.

The whole room began to crack up.  Everyone was

laughing with the exception of Mamoru, and they had no

idea what they were laughing about.  The laughter began

to quiet down and silence began to take over again.

Tauski studied each person under his eyelashes.

He wondered what the relationship between Mamoru and 

Usagi was, but he would find out sooner or later.  He

studied each person in turn but he looked at Usagi the

longest.  He found her beauty blinding but he could not 

force himself to look away.  He could see that she had a 

pure heart.  What made her beauty blinding was that she

seemed to shine from the inside out.  "Could she love me?'

Mamrou cleared his voice and when Tauski looked

up at him he knew that Mamoru had caught him looking at

Usagi.  Tauski looked back, a challenge in his eyes.  

Mamoru looked back with a answering stare.  Tension

in the air was thick as a blanket.  The moment was interrupted

when Motoki cleared his voice and said,



	"Phew is it hot in here or what."  The others nodded in 

agreement eager to distract Mamoru and Tauski.  Motoki continued 

to speak.  "Minna, I have to go, umm Mamoru are you getting

a ride with me?"



	"Hai."  Mamoru replied.  "I think Usagi should be 

getting home to.  Your mom is probably worried about

you." he added.  'There is no wa in hell, that I'm leaving

her here for that guy to gawk at her.'  Mamoru thought.

Usagi was about to voice her opinion that Mamoru had no right 

bossing her around but knew that he was probably right.  She got 

up slowly.  As she passed Tauski he gently grabbed her hand.  

Usagi started.  Mamoru moved forward but Motoki put up a hand 

to keep him from doing anything rash.  Tauski stood up but

continued to hold Usagi's hand.  He looked down at Usagi

and stared into her eyes.  He began to whisper and the

others in the room had to strain to hear what he was saying.



	"It was very nice meeting you.  I hope to see you again in

the future," he paused and then added in a quieter tone.

"I usually get what I want."



Usagi gasped and her eyes widened when she heard what he said.  

Before he dropped her hand he bowed over her hand and kissed 

her palm.  Such a innocence kiss sent shivers down her spine. 

Usagi stood there in shock.  No one had ever kissed her

hand besides Mamoru and Mamoru had only done it when he

was a prince.  Mamoru began to seethe.  'Who the hell did 

this guy think he was?' he thought.



	"Like hell you're going to see her again.  Not if 

I have anything to do with it."  He muttered.  



	Tauski turned and asked, "Did you say something 

Mamorusan?"  Mamoru glared back but shook his head no.  

Tauski smirked so Mamoru would know that he heard what 

he said.  Mamoru turned and grabbed Usagi possesively 

by the arm.  He pushed Motoki, who was standing in 

the doorway out and pulled Usagi along behind him.

Usagi waved bye and the girls and Tauski waved back.



"Call me minna!"  Usagi yelled



Mamoru continued to pull her.  Usagi ripped her

arm from Mamoru's grasp, and walked away from him 

with her head held high.  Mamoru sighed trying to

figure out what he should do.  Coming to a decision

he called out,



"Usako, Matte!"

**********************************************************



Ok well its finally done.  This part is kinda

long and boring.  Its from all the late nights.

I have writers block, oh no!  Don't be mad at

me for this part.  Who is this guy, hmmmmm looks 

like Mamoru is getting jealous.  Good I think he 

takes Usagi for granted sometimes.  A little

competition should spice things up don't you think?

If you notice, I used Tauski's name from Fushigi

Yugi.  It's one of my other favorite anime.  The

guys in it, are pretty hunky, ne?
